exactly one week after the bombings occurred one thousand year old dzhokhar sars now is in serious but stable condition he has a breathing tube down his throat right now and is suffering from a bullet wound to the neck among other injuries officials close to the investigation say he is communicating with the police with the hand written notes dzhokhar was officially charged today while in his hospital bed among the charges is the use of a weapon of mass destruction with intent to harm the white house also released a statement saying just a short time ago that sars naive is to be tried in civilian court but not only are happy with this decision are to correspondent ana stasia to join us a little bit earlier from boston to share the very latest details on joe hart's charges stemming from the bombing. that's right megan today the official charges were finally filed the official complaint against your hearts or not accuses him of the use of weapons of mass destruction as well as the malicious destruction of property resulting in death so what he's looking at the nineteen year old suspect

the only live suspect in the boston bombings case is a death penalty even though the death penalty is certainly not legal in the state of massachusetts we are looking at a federal crime crime so this is what he is faced with as you just said he is in fact functioning he did start he did away wake and on sunday evening where he started replying to officials questions to him simple questions and writing sporadically he was able to give them simple answers we do know that today he is functioning we certainly know that he understood the charges being brought against him for now we do also know that the probable cause hearing has been set for may thirtieth and this is really the latest surrounding him right now we're not sure exactly whether or not he was his miranda rights were read to him that was been causing lots of debate earlier but certainly the charges have been brought to the case goes from here and as i had mentioned earlier on a stock to a lot of people are not happy with the fact that the white house thought that he will be charged in civilian court senator lindsey graham and others talked about

treating. as an enemy combatant in order to gain information from him. when the public safety exception is stars and well here's this man in my view should be designated as a potential enemy combatant. but then he went on to say that he wants a federal trial in the u.s. court with him tried as a u.s. citizen and senator graham says that joe is not eligible for military commission trials so how do these two trials kind of differ can you give us some insight. when they can certainly if there's been much debate surrounding the way the hearts of should be tried certainly a lot of mostly republican lawmakers were advocating for him to be true. it is an enemy competence but the argument against that from other politicians and civil rights groups was that this is a u.s. citizen somebody who became a naturalized u.s. citizen back in last year actually on september eleventh he has been living in the

united states since two thousand and two and people were saying we could not try an american citizen who committed an act on u.s. soil as an enemy competent because if this is the case this time around what happens in similar cases are we now going to start trying americans as enemy combatants so certainly that has been put off the table right now as we know the white house has said that this is not going to be considered and the difference there is really the way the way the case would be handled certainly a lot of legal experts have been saying that if he were in fact to be treated as an enemy combatant he would not in fact provide any any better insight for investigators but rather prolong this case so many are seeing the fact that he's going to be tried in a federal criminal case making it really just following the rules under which american citizen should be tried to including in a tragedy like this one and on a stasia one interesting point to note is that the state of massachusetts does not exercise the death penalty could he be sentenced to death i mean during the bush administration federal prosecutor sought the death penalty in states that didn't

have it and though we have really yet to see that the obama administration so could this be the case this time. well let me get to what's going to be certainly your right to state of massachusetts does not have the death penalty we do currently have thirty two states in the united states that recognize it but in federal criminal cases the death penalty is in fact recognized and because this is treated as a federal criminal offense this is certainly what's going to be joe hart's or knives possible future now that this investigation unravels r.t. correspondent on a stasi it has been an boston since the initial bombings actually happened and she will continue to bring us updates for let's pause for a moment to take a look back at how the boston marathon bombing manhunt ended and the latest events that unraveled over the weekend artes on assad has that look. mayhem took place here at an area still for going off at a sporting event that attracted tens of thousands of participants and thousands of

spectators from all over the world two bombs went off just seconds apart from each other at the finishing line of the boston marathon the explosions were so strong that they sent debris flying onto rooftops ripping off people's limbs leaving three people dead and over one hundred seventy five people injured despite all of the money the united states spends on security it was a surveillance camera of a department store that helps pinpoint the two brothers behind the tragedy several memorials like this one have been set up throughout the city of boston to remember the victims the three people who died including eight year old boy and two young women and twenty nine and the twenty three year old over a dozen victims remained in critical condition for several days many of them needing follow up surgery despite having had and continue the two suspects lived in an apartment on the third floor of this building in can bridge now they came to the united states the two brothers of chechen origin back in two thousand and two the younger brother joe hart became

a naturalized citizen on some suburb eleven's last year the older brother had a green card dreamt of joining the united states olympic boxing team to get a passport all the people who knew them were shocked to find out that there is a suspect in the bombings but there have been red flags surrounding the identity of the older brother for years while some are praising law enforcement for eventually catching the two suspects others are saying the f.b.i. had dropped the ball after all back in two thousand and eleven upon a request of the foreign of a foreign government announced this week to have been russia's government the f.b.i. did look into the identity of to milan who was back then twenty four years old the intercepted his phone calls followed his social networking life his social relationship but decided he was not suspicious and let him free and some are now saying that possibly the tragedy of the boston bombings could have been avoided if he was at least. put on a watch list and then after monday's bombings late on thursday afternoon the f.b.i.

finally released photos of the two suspects the ended up coming out of their hiding killing an mit officer hijacking a car releasing the person to whom that car belonged and got in a car chase with police the police officers said that the two brothers were throwing explosive devices out of their car and shooting over a dozen police officers were wounded as a result eventually the older brother twenty six year old to milan got out of the car to continue the shootout with the police officers and the younger brother stayed in the car ended up running over his older brother getting away in the car which he eventually abandoned and was able to get away on foot in the meantime police officers captured to marilyn and took him to this hospital in boston suffering multiple injuries this is where he died shortly after one thirty am on friday morning and then president a manhunt for joe hart continued for over twenty hours involving thousands and thousands of federal and local law enforcement officers were currently in watertown

just several minutes outside of boston now law enforcement officials had established a perimeter in this area going from door to door trying to locate joe hart whereabouts where they ended up finding him was just a block away from the area they were searching he was hiding out in that one of the houses in this area in a dry dog's vote a local neighbor person living in this area saw a blood trail and led police to the area where john harwood hiding now a helicopter all be officials was also able using heat signature technology to locate your heart hiding out in this boat even though he was covering himself now it's important to note that a two hour standoff and shootout between police and your heart continued eventually we know that there. negotiating attempts because the officials were very interested in getting him alive eventually they were able to arrest him take him into custody

following his arrest your heart was taken to the same hospital where his brother died also having suffered severe injuries he has been undergoing medical treatment under heavy guard dzhokhar was said to have suffered injuries to his throat either as a result of the suicide attempts or the shootout with police and has been unable to speak he did however awaken on sunday night and was able to sporadically answer the f.b.i. sequestered in writing after weeks filled with tragedy shock fear and a mass lockdown the city of boston has reaped out a sigh of relief the locals want to see justice and find out the motive behind the terror acts that made so many questions the illusion of safety they had been living under and faces for going to parties such as well it was only after the f.b.i. released numerous photographs and videos of the boston marathon bombing suspects last thursday that any real progress was made on the investigation despite the fact

that the city of boston claims to have over one hundred forty seven surveillance cameras throughout the city the best footage of the suspects actually came from a privately owned camera and front of a local restaurant so does the city of boston have too few security cameras too many or just enough for more i was joined earlier by jesselyn radack she is the director of the security national security and human rights office at the government accountability project and from new york thomas ruskin he's the president of c.m.t. group investigations now i started by asking mr ruskin if the fact that this attack happened at all was a black mark for the so-called surveillance state. well surveillance cameras basically brought this case to a conclusion and brought the people who committed the crime to justice so how could that be a failure furthermore over the years like in july the seventh of we know that the cameras in london what they call the ring of steel brought to justice

and brought to brought the people who were responsible for the bombing in london so you know cameras in our society or now and this is evil and we're going to probably be expanded and probably homelier security dollars as well as municipal dollars will go to building up municipalities cameras and c.c.t.v. systems at this point in time and just like he did make a point the urban area security initiative which was grant which was a grant funding from the federal department of homeland security founded a lot of the cameras that boston has do you think that this is one of the necessary evils as tom said well it's definitely evolved i think this whole thing was a spectacular failure of the surveillance state because despite all the cameras we just talked about they failed to deter or detect this plot and while i agree with the other guest that cameras are good for reconstruction

even there we had to crowd source this manhunt and rely on footage from a lot of private cameras and photographs now tom piggybacking off of what just one just said our surveillance cameras supposed to actually prevent crimes through deterrence because people know they are being launched or or is it supposed to be more act as a retroactive discovery is that how they've been used in the present by by politicians is that they how they have actually been presented to us is as one or the other or both the as you question is poll in new york city alone we have the downtown initiative which is formulated. the new york city police department what it is is it's a merger of public and private cameras what the police department has done is got private corporations to link their camera systems outside of sensitive locations as well as normal buildings in midtown manhattan and beat it to a location lower manhattan where the police department and private corporations

monitor on twenty four hour basis the purpose of that is no way to detect crime should a person come in next especially sort of a building let's say like the empire state building and leave a package so the big can respond necessary police officers as well as bomb squad but also to detect or solve the crime should it happen without the prior detection so it works in both ways now just when we how can we put the balance the need for privacy but also the need for safety because in retrospect these cameras were instrumental and finding these people so how can we balance our safety with with what we want and if it will to not be recognized after so much time on the street well if the camera has helped fine people but again it was tape cameras from a lot of private footage from private cameras and surveillance i think the way you can help do that is by having smart surveillance i mean we have spent seven hundred

billion on surveillance since nine eleven and i would submit that the place there really needed to be surveilled was a fertilizer plant which had not been inspected for more than five years and instead we have massive so i mean we have one of the most surveys big event in history with the marathon in terms of cameras then it didn't detect that person placing the bag an accident reconstructionist spine but people are dead by then tommy response. is the most ridiculous this is i've heard in a long time but along those. you know it's city and metropolitan areas that are most to ensure that's where our street that's where our past history has shown us and to build up the surveillance system anyone who thinks that they walk through the world nowadays and isn't under some kind of surveillance either by a smartphone or by the c.c.t.v. is really living in a different era that we're living in now and i think that if we're smart we will

build up the public as well as private cameras and be able more of them to prevent as well as solve crimes that happen i don't know which hypothesis is found in correct and mean i think it's completely true as you can see it did that all the surveillance failed to detect or deter in this case and what we don't need is more surveillance. we already have one hundred forty seven government cameras and numerous private camera as you know and again we have massive data collection we have fusion centers and none of these has ever failed to prevent attack and moreover you mentioned london and england had a survey that found a massive survey of surveillance that found that surveillance never never prevented an actual crime both interesting points unfortunately we're going to have to wrap the discussion up there just like director of the national security at the human

rights at the government accountability project and new york in new york are thomas ruskin former n.y.p.d. detective and president of group investigations. moving on now to the latest surrounding the science or intelligence sharing and protection act a better known assess buff for those of you following the debate closely you probably heard about the rumors of web sites going black today in protest of the legislation the blackout was called for by hacktivist group anonymous and the organizers hope that it would be as big as the sopa and pipa protest blackout of last year that's when hundreds of companies from google to wikipedia blocked their websites temporarily to demonstrate to users what life on the internet would be like if those two bills were actually passed now those two bills did not in fact pass arguably due to the massive public opposition but today's blackout hasn't been as successful over three hundred websites promised to participate in the virtual protest but for most users anyway it was just another day of surfing on the web

why well the fact is that many big names in tech industry like microsoft eight hundred t. i.b.m. comcast horizon and intel they all supports this bus system now allows these companies to hand over user information they deem threatening and they handed over to the government without the risk of being sued for breaking its terms of service critics say that cisco will allow the government to extract private information from the internet without a warrant and will also create a massive database on user information the bill passed the house last thursday with a two hundred eighty eight to one hundred twenty seven vote and is now on its way to the u.s. senate we'll keep you updated as this story develops. well for as long as human beings have known that the stars aren't just little balls of light in the sky but that some of those lights are planets far far away we have wondered if there was life in the universe beyond us the search for life has been

a never ending quest in the universe that is very much larger than any astronomer ever previously conceived something that we're still trying to understand these days but instead of searching planet by planet for life forms themselves astronomers are searching for planets that are habitable in the first place despite the vast expanse of the universe the chances of finding something like that are extremely narrow because most planets can't meet even the minimal requirements to sustain life and yet last week there was a major breakthrough for a star astronomers when they located not one not two but three habitable planets i was joined earlier by ian o'neill he's an astrophysicist and space producer with discovery news dot com and he filled us in on what we can learn from the discovery of the lyra constellation. well you know you mentioned that security was one star system actually changes to planets that are within the house of those own star.

this system is secure interest is called catholic sixty two this is particular interest because these are the smallest planets the full within the house it was only the stars have been discovered now this star is a great walks ours was kind of different from our star is older and it's smaller and it's less bright but these two planets as you are a bit within the zone around the star that's is probably just right so it's the right temperature for the liquid water to exist on meraki surfaces now we know very little else information and you know it there always will periods and we know their size there are one is about sixty percent bigger than there is the other one is by forty percent in there so they're very close the size most likely real people is but all we know so. although it's very tempting to say these a habitable planets certainly not earth and we also know that scientists the included in another scientists say kepler sixty nine c.

is another planet that was recently deemed habitable but scientific knowledge that these planets are too far away and to really know what they're made of how dense they are ecstatic so how do we know that they are can sustain life essentially how can we come to those conclusions we don't know this is the main thing this is the problem we've got because as you mentioned let's use our way that anything pretty over a hundred light years away and be nice to these planets around about to a size. twelve hundred light years away really out of the scope for any spectroscopic analysis so we can actually look at the stairs if they do indeed harappa series we don't know about we've covered a look inside the space but you wherever they go with with they all sit in the atmosphere we don't know if they're a cop and also we know none of these things as i say we only know two characteristics is some there. and their orbits but by itself is very exciting because we know of one planet this of bundled with life this planet and it fills in

the house it was out of our star sun so just using that as a you are speaking say well there's a chance there is a chance that these two kind of these three planets may well house the right right recipe for life on a surface and if life is common thread the universe barren among we haven't got a clue if that's true but if life is common those where that those are the comments that we'd actually put our bets on and the likes of the ceci institute some seti scientists rushing looking for extraterrestrial intelligence it's they will be directing their radio telescopes athey s. targets because it's our best bet now as i understand it now tap our satellite is the one that actually discovered them which is why the star and the planets themselves are actually named after that satellite and that satellite actually has a more than one hundred fifty thousand stars that it is actually keeping track of so can you describe to me what the golden locks conditions are for a plant to be confederate habitable basically at the start i mean it can't just sit

interested in sunlight starts i mean you know obvious reason for that is we know our star the sun can support life with its habitable zone because the star sun is kind of an they call it an average star say not average by any means but it's not very violent it doesn't start at the super flares that radiate all life on earth so we are very lucky in that what we're actually here because our star is in and it's in the middle age our portion of this life is kind of plodding along and you say will support life in this house was an. other characteristics of any any star can be considered spore life but with kathleen it is actually looking for stars that are possibly the same mass as the sun because the sun set is a good yardstick for supporting life and also we're looking for minus there we see it within that particular stars. it was own so they go he looks up and says cold is not suitable and not too cold so it's a it's a plan it was orbiting outside further away from the goldilocks zone it's likely

going to be frozen so our interpretation of most of the burning i which will be about life as we know it so life as we know what on earth requires liquid water to do so to a halt so it has to be within this habitable zone so to close the stars well that's no good because the water will evaporate in just the very creamy are there. other forms of life may not exist on these planets but the point is we only know of ones hard life i'm going to say so we're trying to look for any clues or any traces that our form of life exists elsewhere in the universe and that with an o'neill astrophysics astrophysicist and space producer with discovery news dot com. well the stop trading on congressional knowledge or otherwise known as the stock act has been signed into law i was signed last week that has claimed to help reveal any a congressman's attempts or insider trading. laurie harshness of the as a dialect. two

thousand and twelve president obama signed the stock act which was going to take steps to make it easier to track congress's variation of insider trading he asked mandated that people working in the legislative and executive branches of our government would have to electronically file their personal financial disclosure forms which means that their trading activities would be transparent and searchable on line so that porsche lips like us could see whether or not they were in better treaty. technically congress isn't supposed to make insider trade they are not

supposed to trade on nonpublic information they have pain in the course of their work but the most cursory of investigations will show you how for example when congress was debating how care in two thousand and nine some members of congress bought certain insurance stocks that magically skyrocketed days later or how when the market tanked in two thousand and eight many members the time cliff conspicuously sold off a bunch of those stocks right before and he got a little option fund that would go up in value the market went down it's ridiculous common practice because insider trading laws are written in a way that makes it very easy for congress to basically do whatever they want which makes sense because congress writes those laws themselves as senator in the defense committee is free to trade defense stocks banking committee senators can trade bank stocks conflicts of interest is strong but the america. congress. so when obama

signed the stock act in two thousand and twelve to help stop this mindblowing wing corrupt nonsense or at least make it so transparent that no one in washington was risk it he said the powerful should be good to create one set of rules for themselves and another set of rules for everybody else and you leave lots of public speeches and allowed cameras to roll when he left. the air and there's the obama does care about congress acting in your best interest and not in the interest of the testaments. except own lame president obama just signed the rollback of key provision to the stock act members of the executive and legislative branches turns out to be required to file their personal financial disclosure forms online so that everyone can see them no they're free to keep all of that insider trading as hidden as usual shockingly obama didn't know the press conference this time no

because that would have been very quietly and coincidentally it happened a week before the original stock act was supposed to go into effect. so we find the good locks out the insider trading in washington in front of the world and then he does it right before it's supposed to go into effect behind the world's back so congress and the president himself can continue to keep their insider trading for themselves and they can continue to have massive amounts of conflicts of interest they will continue to work for their bank accounts instead of you american so the next time you see a politician signing legislation that seems like it's a really great thing and it's going to make a big change just remember the lesson the stock at which is this all of washington is corrupt lock stock and barrel tonight and tell us about that by following me on twitter at the resident.

all right well that does it for now for more on the stories we covered go to youtube dot com slash r.t. america or check out our website r t dot com slash usa you can also follow me on twitter at meghan underscore lopez for now have a great night. i think. i. can. see. in regarding what the republic of texas was in eight hundred thirty six

a number of people who had moved here from north america. at the invitation of the mexican government to settle here they were being chased out by the new president of mexico was also a general of the army's there. and they had to defend themselves against santa and i was armies that lasted for about a year but finally general sam houston leading these volunteers defeated santa ana a place called sanyo sento and in defeating the president general of mexico they were able to force him to sign a treaty. the treaty formed a new nation so that he would never again come across the rio grande river to bother of the people in texas any more tree also said. nothing of the land of texas . belonged to the people who lived on the wound of texas for ever and that's

a treaty that is perpetual it doesn't go away. so what is the republic of texas now . it is the land of texas one of texas does not belong to the us doesn't belong to the federal government. it belongs to the people. who live here. and there is no federal land if they want land in texas they have to lease from us for their military bases. ok go ahead. fall off to him all if. what the republic of texas is today in the early two thousand is. a number of people got

together and said you know what the farm land is still ours and if there's a perpetual treaty that says we are a nation let's just be a nation as so they elected but with a vote from the people. a president vice president secretary of state a congress a supreme court justice and all of those are still occupied land to this day in fact that government needs every month on the second saturday of the month and the people of texas who are interested come to those meetings that's what it is today the purpose the goal of the republic of texas and what we're doing is to restore and to preserve all the freedoms and all the rights that were won in eight hundred thirty six to ask the battle of santa santo when

that treaty was signed. in other words we're here to make sure that the people get to exercise those rights even though an overreaching federal government of the u.s. keeps trying to take away more and more of the rights and freedoms we're here to restore them and to make sure. there prisoner. you have to say. i drove here from lake jackson texas two hundred forty miles. i have to wake up early but i wanted to come i went last month to this meeting. and what i see here some people that are concerned about. where our country is heading and. then they they look for the alternative. but there's a lot of talk about secession in this country because we see tyranny in washington

we see even our own elected representatives wind up getting elected because they're people with wealth that are paying for their elections. how you may have won not just. and only because for this had. gone. ok. it's ok. he's not. he's not a hero fred there have been. a. c.s.p. sudley if you is the i'm with you be here all by the if.

the face we're the congress. right now the lady of texas. and gave her don't record. we then. you reclaiming all the land for the people from. it but. this is a map of the original bone greece from eighteen to thirty six of the nation called the republic of texas here's a map of the state of texas today and all of the mountains all the way up to here which is wyoming colorado you mexico kansas and oklahoma. that we're part of the nation then have been stripped away because this is the northern limit of texas which is somewhere and sheer.

you can see or. have served these papers to. all the different governors. to washington d.c. . to europe blame is put. so well i did. it i'm leaving him a copy because i didn't serve him. i deserved all the top people. viewed you have any. money real money. with. programs are. immoral but it's a real worry. for. sure. this is called that has a face value of to a smart person. it's. funny nine point nine percent are still.

air tight storm damage. it was are you sure what the problem was trouble free right. ideas for these things for you. i helped design reviews i've drawn first i'm going to have an artist. who. want to try just . before he found a trick. to break the whole big load them or barter and that's faith and i like it like that i like to throw. over here we've got a machine it's running republic of texas currency right now we've got a tough one. thirty nine millimeter silver medallion. so you can see the.

ones with an outline of the original. other side one they show on the one. they write sculpt of the. started doing these all way back in two thousand and nine hundred thousand these. are these presses for use by the u.s. for almost fifty years to make any. you hear the most repurposed fractional silver cup or occurrences we change the world. we are strong your money is good so. should the money people. we can make a marketplace. open to anybody who wants to get anybody who wants to make some free . money the way we keep. the money

the money. and make. their changes in the marketplace so what we're going to do here is we're free to enter a currency system. in the blanks for us. or we can reestablish this marketplace people barter and trade. with them and. say is. it me is suggestion so there must be dispensed. with only one is laying the piss out of all fifty states forty nine other states all of their land records are state. there are all forty nine states. up in virginia very close to the district of columbia. united states bureau of.

united states own as can folks in throw all the. states. these records state in texas because we're still. in the senate ratified a treaty with texas for friendship commerce and navigation in eight hundred forty three but refused to ratify. a year later and eighteen forty four. december outgoing president john tyler proposed that texas yeah next by a joint resolution of the u.s. congress that past february of forty five. and november texas both. been eight hundred sixty one. people discovered the united states wasn't going to do what they said they would do. so they. elected form

a new constitution and took them of a vote to secede or not. the united states declared the vote in the constitution null and void. with the what people didn't understand. the stakes never see the dates. in they were and they were taken a vote to secede and you cannot cede troops up and you never see did. jay james beholder. anybody after chickens humanity their day it you know you know go after james tickets. feet. and they'd run away to

the dump a man. told. them that already so how do you both go to do all three of them just buy a. new one. earth perfect ok i'll be happy to this. kind of governments we have now are like a parasite and a parasite as a living thing but it lives off of the lives of others who are parasites on a cause or a partner sites on trees government has become a parasite and there are as many people dependent on my government. in the united states as there are that are not depend. so it's around a fifty fifty deal well we can support. that over half. by

our labor because government doesn't produce anything of value it only takes one side. and gives it to people who are over. forty pounds. and republic of texas that can't happen. constitutional republic says the government is very small. does very few things is forbidden to do the other things i sold people keep the fruits of their labor they keep the work of their hands down the down they can. start businesses they can hire more people the other people have jobs everything works fine without the parasite.

here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call a dollar. i'm sorry i'm just a guy who cares enough about my country use our of our you know what that is my theory sounds right now want to give us a chance to feature a sufi on live from the true. it. can secure building up out of the. you know the club are going to distract us from what you and i should care about because they're a profit driven industry that sells a sensationalistic garbage he calls it breaking news i'm abby martin and we're going to break that. little. play live alone flick science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the

future of covered. let me let me one wouldn't let me ask you a question. here on this network is what we're having the debate we have our knives out. the truth is the scientists bad thing there's again we're in a situation where the united way to talk about the surveillance we. think throwaway things are going in the republic of texas to be a hold up better off when the state of texas. texas has got its own lecture cool grid it's got all the hall and gas and everything it needs it's got all the in those three everything that made it can survive by itself without the rest of the united states which is to say the rest united states cannot survive without.

the remotest people around this country around the whole world who are thinking oil wells when they hear about texas well that was true a long time ago. but now two thousand and thirteen there is more energy coming out of the ground from natural gas than there is from liquid petroleum. and there's enough natural gas discovered already. to fuel texas for the next hundred years or longer this plant behind us that's one of the plants that's capable of burning gas. now because there is so much gas and oil and coal and wind and solar available in texas meaning we have a lot more sunny days. texas is

a stand alone area as far as an energy resource. it does not need to import energy from other states or from the federal government it can export energy. on so that the resources are here and the costs of energy per b.t.u. or per whatever you measure it is usually almost always lower in texas than it is in the rest of the states. which is very good for us but that's because with the independent texas power grid. texas does not have to let the us regulate the costs the price of energy. the people who work on a minute are not employees they're partners and they've agreed that when they get paid for their work. that they will be paid in silver that is produced from them.

and it makes sense because they're producing real money and they want to be paid in real money. everything is part of their exchanging their labor. hours of their life. for a commodity and that commodity is silver it's like paying people in exile or bacon. since they're being paid in a commodity according to the us. and they are us. this is not money this is a commodity. so since they're not being paid in u.s. dollars. and they are. u.s. dollars or what's taxed. that's the simplest way to. business income tax if you're paid in. or if you're paid in

most of. now that's just an exchange a commodity for the use of my time and my skills. evelyn durant's child and he is sitting there overlooking all of his sheep hanging out in front of fema camps and the i.r.s. and fellow reserve the builder burks and see if. we are the nanny state now where we are being watched almost everywhere we go by security cameras and satellites and drones flying over us we've got our military now to extend democracy out there to the rest of the world and as long as we're sleeping we're just watching t.v. everything's going to be just fine. there was a while they lose one of us and they don't really like to lose us but it's all collateral damage. now and. the people here believe very strongly in peace we're pacifists we are anti war. we

believe at the same time though that very strong defense and being able to protect your life your liberty and your property is also very important so as we walk through you may see scattered across the field and there's a a r fifteen back here in this corner along so our marketing director tray. and so you'll see a lot of people carrying and. and doing things that most normal business would normally do. as the second amendment actually on the back of a coin completely spelled out tomorrow. when one of the more popular medallions. i think this poster here really sums up who we are better than anything else in this building ron paul is certainly one of our personal heroes and probably. by far the most legitimate person that's ever served in government. he wrote a book called end the fed and it's a great book but we took a little bit of

a different approach and said why don't we just stop the revolution and start the evilly. and ignore the fed. trying to compete against them instead of trying to put them out of business or wave a sign to get them to change what they're doing let's just ignore them pretend as if they don't exist and will watch the effect that they have over our lives that our finances disappear almost to nothing. so we like to ignore the fed around here . know people often ask what would it take. for us to. have the authority to govern. the land area and the people. of texas and there are several possibilities or probabilities that would bring out about one is . a complete economic collapse when the monetary system of the united states

stops working and it's inevitable that it will and then you have anarchy then you have chaos then you have disorder. and the thing that's needed is to have a government in place that works on a volunteer basis instead of having to be paid huge salaries as the people in austin texas are busy on it. and that's why you see what they're saying in the first of all to hear. the news articles are starting to reveal what we've known for a long time here and that is that there are more jobs in texas than just about any place else. and in fact governor perry has said texas is open for business which is another of saying we have jobs here and we do and the question is why does texas have plenty of jobs when there are whole states that. just can't create jobs and have so many people and more people going on in

a climate than ever. and there are several reasons for that one is a lot more texas people. are personally entrepreneurs' they think in terms of how can i organize people together to provide a product or provide a service which. people want the worse not to get them to want something but if they already want something how can i provide it to them. to show the biggest part of it is there's just a whole lot less government interference over regulation. you have to get a permit you have to wait six months or a year before you do something while they go and think about whether it's good for the people or not if it isn't good for the people the people won't buy the darn fam .

the united states flag and the texas play was the same guy with the only state and with a republic that can do that together play a lot of love and whatever's on top of that the finial bits on top of that lag sets precedent it's a ball its military plan. evil it's a crazy. one of these days i'm a snippet there but i'm at hamburg on top that american. ok let's go to the cabin though. given that too. is to feed her as the mortician in d.c. is did you. ever think texas is a bigger. always.

we have got her only. got her own money. it was good to get the bill and higher than or just in d.c. that a bad. texas was fighting. others defending itself against the armies of santa ana from mexico. they chose the gold star as their emblem says republic of texas. seal was a dog. that in eighteen thirty seven and is still in the capitol building

today right here in the very center of the building. which is just another evidence that the republic of texas has not gone away there's just a different form of government covering it but the land the people and the culture and the spirit of texas are still the same today. as an elected senator in the texas republic. i've had to give thought to whether i even wanted to run for that office. during all of that i decided that it was worth doing for several reasons i have children and grandchildren i guess pretty soon i'll have great grandchildren. and i want them to grow up and live. in a place that's truly free and that requires a nation that's independent. where the government is limited it's limited in the

amount of money it can spend or borrow or print. or coin or whatever. so i saw a chance for me. to play a part of. having a clearer vision putting it in words putting it on paper and creating the base the foundation on which a free nation could live again in a free independent texas. potentially deadly blizzard taking aim for the northeast it's expected to hit starting in a few hours from new york to maine we have team coverage of the storm.

but what we're watching is the very heavy snow moving into boston proper earlier today it was very sticky you can see it start to become much more powdery down the line there's still a lot of snow out here a good place for snowball fight. jason it is kind of pretty incredible day there and even record snowfall throughout much of it might still be flood three driving lessons to the emergency vehicles are exceptional. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. the giant corporations are old today.
